I learned a long time ago that the voices of Eeyore and Optimus Prime were done by the same guy. For some reason that changed my life a little bit. Two things from my childhood having so little to do with one another suddenly being connected was a weird revelation.

This weekend it happened again. Sunday night I discovered that the guy who played Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is the same guy that did the voice for The Shredder on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. Imagination fully in overdrive, I’m now picturing Shredder throwing D.J. Jazzy Jeff out of his mansion and a quirky black family inhabiting the Technodrome.

You know what, guys? I’m beginning to think there just might be something wrong with me…
